DIY Electroluminescent (EL) photo frame 16. May 2008
Posted by Nerdmaster in : Retro , add a comment
I like the idea of using an EL panel for picture illumination, and I have another use for it. I need to take pictures of glass for an upcoming project and this would be a great solution for lighting the piece. To get really nice pictures of glass you have to light them from underneath. You can purchase commercial light panels, but you might be able to make one for less.

Make Projects: DIY Blimp 1. May 2008
Posted by Nerdmaster in : Retro , add a comment
Everyone likes toys that fly. Unfortunately, most R/C planes are hard to control for people without any experience. Why not make an easy to fly blimp? It’s really quick to make, and many people have at least one of the R/C helicopters used in the build. Even if you had to buy (2) helicopters your cost would be less than $60. Best of all, it is completely non-destructive and can be reversed in la few seconds. So if you have kids, are a kid, or just act like a kid, give this a try. You will love it.
What you need:
(2) R/C Helicopters (similar to Airhogs)
(2) 24″ long balsa dowels
A little tape
Binder clips or coins for ballast
